Accepting Change and Letting Go....  Humans are funny creatures, in that we often know that change is NEEDED in our life...  yet we are too scared to actually make the change.  In some cases, we are not even conscious that we're too afraid, we just come up with a ton of excuses why it's not possible.  Have you ever stayed in a painful romantic relationship longer than you should have, be...

How many times have you heard, "THE PAST IS THE PAST"? Here's the thing... the past IS the past. And that has two different meanings. a) The past is the past, we can't do anything about it, so let's keep moving on b) The past is the past, and the person you are today and the life you live is based on everything that has happened, everything you've experienced in the p...

Sometimes Life Sucks. Right? Life can be hard.  Something happens to you or in the world around you, and you can’t help but think, ‘Man, this sucks!’ or ‘Why is life so difficult all the time?’ Perhaps something crappy has happened to you in your life recently - you are going through a difficult breakup or in a bad relationship, you’ve been diagnosed with a chronic or even fatal disease, you’ve lo...

Have you ever found yourself ruminating on something you regret doing? - What about not being able to stop thinking about how someone wronged you? - Perhaps you've been stuck in a thought loop about all the bad things that could possibly happen in the future? - This is called overthinking. - Why "over"thinking? Because thinking about these things all day doesn't actually change...

August 13, 2022 is a day I’ll always remember.  -- Around 3:30am, I called 911 and ordered an ambulance to my house. A couple hours later I was riding a thin line between life and death. I spent many hours in the emergency room followed by days in the ICU before being released from the hospital with a diagnosis that meant my life would quite literally never be the same.  - Now, three weeks later I...

So, today my car got broken into. And by broken into I mean someone cute the soft top of my convertible.  Within a few minutes I felt a rainbow of emotions from anger to compassion. And then I chose which emotion I was going to bring with me into the rest of the day. And I chose compassion and gratitude.  Some people told me I should be angry. Some other people I spoke to were angrier about it tha...

Have you ever waited so long for something in your life to happen - and then when it finally did, it wasn’t anything like you expected it would be? - Did you think that x, y or z would make you happy… But it never did? - Did you ever yearn to be FREE of someone or something (a job, place, house) so that you could FINALLY be happy, or do that thing you always wanted?

It was so unlike me... ​​When I looked through my list that I keep of potential podcast episodes to record an episode last week, not one of the 25 ideas I keep in a notepad sparked even the tiniest bit of joy or interest in me. Part of me just wanted to go to bed. I was feeling tired, lacking energy, hopeful yet apprehensive about the future at the same time. And I thought… there are probably a lo...

A couple of months into the pandemic, she realized there was going to be no movement in her industry and she had a minimum of 6 months straight with nothing to work on.  Th...

At the end of each year, I like to take a moment to reflect on what I've learned - where I began the year, and where I finished the year.  In what ways am I a different person?
